I admit, when I first read about the film, I thought there would be much more action in the film. The majority of the action was at the end. However, this movie was all about the story. That story was based on true events, and real people. Even though it was animation, and it was wicked animation all cool with it's realistic graphics, it was not a story for the feint of heart. It was another tough look at what life has always been like. Discrimination has always been around, and people have always had to fight for what was right. Bilal was one of many, yet his story was simply fascinating.

Even the hubby really enjoyed the film. I was surprised to be honest. It was way out of his comfort zone, being a blow shit up kinda guy. Still he was held through to the end.
